A little too much foaming action, perhaps?
Was it like this;
Or like the blob?

Ahh, that's classic 
Same reason you don't put regular dish soap in the dishwasher. I learned that lesson in college.

Not only are your floors clean, they are sanitized! You can literally eat off of them!
How bad did the foam get? Curiosity is getting the better of me here.

Would It also be a bad idea to put starsan in the rinse agent thing in the dishwasher?

Hmm, my floors are a little grimy, and I need to run my dishwasher soon to keep the lines from dry rotting. How much should I use?

I think we ALL made that mistake in college. On that note, make sure to check out the basement below the dishwasher, last time I made this mistake, I had a NASTY leak in the basement that was even harder to clean up than the kitchen floor.
My dad put dish soap in the dishwasher a few years ago. He was about 57-58 yo. I was like, WTF? Hasn't he ever done dishes before? I guess not.

The problem is that your dishwasher is out of balance. To cut down on foaming you need a longer hose.... Turning down the pressure might help too... 
My wife has about a hundred of these types of incidents that she keeps in her memory Roledex.
She starts out: "Remember when _______".
While I can't remember what we had for dinner last night...

I used powdered spic-n-span in the dishwasher one time when I was a kid. The box was right next to the powdered dishwasher soap under the sink. I had about 6 inches of bubbles over the entire kitchen floor. Mom wasn't amused. I however thought it was freeking hilarious.

I was thoroughly disappointed when I didn't see a paper clip out to the right of this thread title!

I have used starsan in the dishwasher the last 4 times I have bottled, and it worked PERFECTLY!
I think the OP's problem is that too much was used. I use about 1/3 ounce. Never had a problem.
